Anyone who likes to hike close to the water will feel comfortable here. The water flows over the finely polished rocks and a waterfall down the gorge.

At the entrance to the gorge the path leads into the forest. Here the riverbed is still wide and perhaps there are "stone piles" standing in it. On the trail you will also find stone piles over 2 meters high, which were built by Pascal Baur with artistic affinity. The many stones are perfect for building. Further into the gorge it becomes narrower and the path climbs a few meters over stairs with handrails on the steepest section. Unimaginable that a restaurant once stood here at the back a long time ago. Right next to the stairs, the water flows through the small canyon. Then it continues zigzagging up the forest and as soon as the edge of the forest is reached, the Wallegg-Stube Restaurant is in sight and the ascent meters are mastered.

The way back into the village also follows a stream towards Lenkerhof. The sulfur smell that rises into your nose here comes from the natural sulfur spring.
